The study focuses on their relationships with their students, colleagues, workplace, and the conditions under which they carry out their tasks. Seeks to understand how this process happened and its influence on the work of these teachers. It assumes that the description of the relations between students, teachers, community and job reveals the construction of the professional profile of teachers and how this reflects the formation of the identity of those teachers in relation to their workplace. Its objectives are the description of the construction of teacher identity through the analysis of data obtained through field research. The methodology adopted is the case study, as it enables to conduct research focused on the uniqueness of the study group. The main instruments for data collection were observation, questionnaires and interviews, and findings were submitted to content analysis. The results point to a faculty young but experienced, originating from low-income families, with predominant formation in the Normal Course (Teacher Training Course), who chose Austin and have empathy for the neighborhood. The profession was the result of a choice and would not be changed, despite the dissatisfaction expressed by poor working conditions. Their identity was forged during their training process and their professional habits were shaped by the reality they experience in their working conditions. Their practice and relationship with students are also affected by local peculiarities. The sensations reported by the teachers were that of abandonment by the government, society and academia. In short, the process of construction of professional identity starts locally but does not end there. / A presente disserta??o se debru?a sobre o processo de constru??o da identidade dos docentes atuantes no primeiro segmento da rede municipal na localidade de Austin, munic?pio de Nova Igua?u, enfocando as rela??es estabelecidas com seus alunos, colegas, o local onde trabalham, e as condi??es em que o fazem. Assim, busca compreender como tal processo se constr?i e suas marcas no trabalho docente. Ao partir do pressuposto de que nas rela??es professor ? aluno - comunidade ? trabalho ? poss?vel desvelar a constru??o do perfil profissional destes docentes e narrar como se forma a identidade do professor atrav?s de suas praticas no local de trabalho. Os objetivos propostos s?o a identifica??o do processo de constru??o da identidade docente atrav?s da analise dos dados obtidos em pesquisa de campo. A metodologia adotada ? o estudo de caso, por possibilitar a realiza??o de pesquisas focadas nas singularidades do grupo estudado. Os principais instrumentos de coleta de dados foram a observa??o, o question?rio e as entrevistas, e os achados foram submetido ? an?lise de conte?do. Os resultados apontam para um corpo docente jovem, mas experiente, origin?rio de fam?lias de baixa renda, com forma??o predominante no curso Normal, que escolheu Austin e tem empatia pelo bairro. A profiss?o resultou de uma escolha e n?o seria trocada, apesar das insatisfa??es manifestadas pelas m?s condi??es de trabalho. Logo, sua identidade profissional foi forjada ao longo do processo de forma??o e no exerc?cio da profiss?o, sendo moldada pela realidade vivida, as pr?ticas sua rela??o com os alunos tamb?m s?o afetadas pelas peculiaridades locais. A sensa??o relatada pelas professoras ? de abandono por parte do poder p?blico, da sociedade e da academia. Em suma, seu processo de constru??o da identidade profissional passa pelo lugar, mas n?o se encerra nele.

Este trabalho é um estudo de caso que analisa os processos envolvidos na constituição da identidade profissional de professores de música que lecionam na educação básica. Toma-se a cidade de Itupeva como local do estudo porque a disciplina de música integra a grade curricular de sua rede de ensino e, portanto, seu professores efetivos são licenciados em música. O estudo se desenvolve a partir de pesquisa de campo e entrevistas semiestruturadas com 13 professores de escolas públicas municipais em Itupeva. Inicialmente, discutem-se os conceitos de identidade e identidade profissional com base nas contribuições de Dubar (1997, 2009), Bauman (2005), Ciampa (2001), Tadeu Silva (2014) e Hall (2006, 2014). Em particular, a abordagem da identidade profissional docente fundamenta-se em Maria de Lourdes Ramos da Silva (2007, 2008, 2009), Pimenta (1997), Nóvoa (1991, 2007), Tardif (2002) e Penin (2009). Considerada em seu caráter processual, plural e transitório, a identidade profissional envolve a noção de igualdade e diferença, a trajetória biográfica do sujeito, suas relações no contexto de trabalho, o uso de identificações na reivindicação e atribuição de identidades e a atividade profissional do professor de música. Vista de uma perspectiva processual, ou seja, em constante transformação, a identidade implica também a perspectiva sócio-histórica (BOCK; GONÇALVES; FURTADO, 2001), que norteia este trabalho. Assim, discute-se como a trajetória do ensino de música no Brasil influencia a constituição da identidade do professor de música no contexto atual. Pela análise de conteúdo (BARDIN, 2011), os dados são classificados em três categorias principais: trajetória de vida e formação acadêmica; ações e saberes do professor de música; e contextos de atuação e perspectivas profissionais. Nesses termos, identificaram-se aspectos representativos do processo de constituição identitária dos professores de música, entre eles, o acesso ao ensino de música na infância, a influência do ensino superior na construção de saberes pedagógico-musicais, as relações estabelecidas com a equipe escolar e com os demais professores de música, o modo como definem sua profissão e as práticas pedagógicas desses professores em sala de aula. / The present case study analyzes the processes involved in shaping the professional identity of K-12 music teachers. The city of Itupeva was selected as the study site since music is part of its basic education curriculum and, therefore, all tenured music teachers have an undergraduate degree in music education. The study is based on field research and semi-structured interviews with 13 teachers from Itupeva municipal schools. First, the concepts of identity and professional identity shall be discussed in light of contributions by Dubar (1997, 2009), Bauman (2005), Ciampa (2001), Tadeu Silva (2014), and Hall (2006, 2014). The view on teachers professional identity, in particular, comes from Maria de Lourdes Ramos da Silva (2007, 2008, 2009), Pimenta (1997), Nóvoa (1991, 2007), Tardif (2002), and Penin (2009). Considering its processual, plural and transient nature, a subjects professional identity involves the notion of equality and difference, their life story, relationships in the workplace, the use of identifications in claiming and giving others an identity, as well as their professional activity. From a processual, i.e. ever-changing, perspective, identity also encompasses a social and historical perspective (BOCK; GONÇALVES; FURTADO, 2001), which guides this study. Then, we shall see how the history of music education in Brazil influences the shaping of music teachers identity today. By using content analysis (BARDIN, 2011), the data shall be classified into three major categories: life story and academic background; music teachers actions and knowledge; and professional context and prospects. With that in mind, representative aspects of music teachers process of identity formation shall be identified; among them: access to music classes as a child, the influence of higher education on building their musical and pedagogical framework, relationships established with the school staff in general and more specifically with other music teachers, the way they define their profession, and their pedagogical practices in the classroom.

It was based in curriculum models adopted in three different moments of history: in the 50’s with technician courses, the 60’s when the technical courses were introduced at college and the 80’s with the introduction of Physiotherapy courses at universities. The aim of this research was to evaluate the impacts on the curriculum models and the reconstruction of the professional identity through the history of Physiotherapy in the world and in Brazil correlating them one to the other. The methodology used involved the analysis of documents and oral interviews. Understanding the professional identity as a collective construction, idealized and concretized through individual actions, we may be able to understand the advances in the processes of profissionalization and the limitations imposed to the occupation. / Este trabalho, fruto da experiência profissional docente em Cursos de Fisioterapia, foi idealizado como instrumento de compreensão/reflexão sobre as influências das forças políticas, sociais e históricas na construção da identidade profissional do fisioterapeuta no Brasil. Tem como eixo norteador os modelos curriculares adotados em três momentos da história: na década de 1950, com os cursos técnicos; 1960, com os cursos “técnicos de nível superior”; e 1980, com os cursos de nível superior. O objetivo da pesquisa foi o de, reconstruindo a história da Fisioterapia no Mundo e no Brasil, avaliar os seus impactos nos modelos curriculares e na construção da identidade profissional, interrelacionando-os. A metodologia utilizada envolveu análise de fontes documentais e entrevista oral. Entendendo a identidade profissional como uma construção coletiva, idealizada e concretizada em ações individuais, compreendem-se os avanços no processo de profissionalização e as limitações impostas à categoria.

Este estudo de tese propõe uma discussão sobre as conexões existentes entre os cursos de qualificação profissional, gestados pelos programas governamentais PLANFOR e PNQ, e a formação da identidade profissional dos agricultores familiares na região de Januária - MG. Estes programas, gestados no início dos anos de 1990, num contexto de profundas mudanças no mundo do trabalho, foram implantados, também no meio rural, na busca por uma profissionalização do agricultor, capaz de conceber-lhes uma identidade profissional e integrá-los ao novo modelo de desenvolvimento. A disseminação dos novos padrões relacionados com a produtividade fez com que se tornassem mais complexas as relações com o mundo do trabalho e, por consequência, uma maior exigência de especialização dos trabalhadores. Pelo menos teoricamente, o acesso à tecnologia através da qualificação tende a proporcionar aumento da produção e da produtividade, o que geraria excedentes que levassem o agricultor a comercializar e se inserir nos mercados consumidores. Esse modelo de desenvolvimento para o campo se desenvolve a partir das políticas públicas de qualificação, mas nem todos os agricultores familiares assimilam essa receita e constroem estratégias de manutenção das suas condições de agricultura de tradição camponesa. A construção de identidades profissionais de agricultores se consolida naturalmente pelos processos sociais, mas também por mudanças nas estruturas produtivas e nas formas organizativas de sociedade. Dessa forma, a identidade profissional dos agricultores está relacionada com a qualificação e ao acesso à tecnologia de produção, com o uso da terra, com o crédito, ao mercado e, principalmente, ao reconhecimento social da profissão de agricultor. A qualificação profissional tem contribuído para o processo de profissionalização, mas, infelizmente, depende de outros elementos importantes de natureza econômica, institucional e social para a sua concretização. / This study thesis proposes a discussion on the connections between the professional qualification courses, gestated by government programs PLANFOR and PNQ, and the formation of professional identity of the farmers in the region Januária - MG. These programs, gestated in the early 1990s, in a context of profound changes in the world of work were deployed also in rural areas, in search for a professional farmer, able to design them a professional identity and integrate it into new development model. The spread of new standards related to productivity made them become more complex relations with the world of work and, therefore, require more specialized workers. At least in theory, access to technology through training tend to provide increased production and productivity which would generate surpluses that led farmers to enter the market and consumer markets. This model of development for the field develops from public policy qualification, but not all farmers assimilate this recipe and build strategies to maintain their conditions of peasant farming tradition. The construction of professional identities of farmers established itself naturally by social processes, but also by changes in production structures and the organizational forms of society. Thus the professional identity of farmers is related to the qualifications and access to production technology, with land use, with credit, market, and especially to social recognition of the farming profession. The qualification has contributed to the process of professionalization, but unfortunately, depends on other important elements of economic, institutional and social for their achievement.

Due to increasing societal demands, accountability and economic constraints, there has been a paradigm shift in the healthcare culture with a move to formally train medical educators. This has resulted in the professionalisation of medical education, with various development initiatives including postgraduate qualifications. The demand for these qualifications in medical education can be judged by the increase in providers, from 2 to 31 in the UK and from 7 to 124 worldwide over the last two decades. However, detailed information about the influence and effectiveness of such courses remains sparse. This study investigated the impact of postgraduate qualifications in medical education on graduates’ educational identities, practices and career progression. The study design is mixed methods using the explanatory model. The first study comprised of an online survey of graduates from the Centre for Medical Education, Dundee between 2008 and 2012. The data collected were sequentially explored in more depth through semi-structured interviews in the second study. To increase the range and scope of enquiry a third study was carried out, which involved a 10 month follow-up of a new cohort of face-to-face students (2013/14) through the course and to the workplace. The quantitative data were analysed using non-parametric statistics on SPSS 21, and constructivist grounded theory analysis was used for the qualitative data in ATLAS.ti 7. I found that a qualification in medical education enhances theoretical foundations in educational practices, with increased self-efficacy and engagement in scholarly activities. The qualification encourages transformational changes and epistemological development as a teacher, researcher, leader and learner. Many participants attributed their career progression to the qualification. The graduates were able to lead various educational changes in the workplace and they described substantial performance attainments. I also found their work environment and personal factors influenced the impact of these qualifications. A conceptual framework based on an increased understanding of the identity development of healthcare educators was also developed. This is the first study on the long-term effects of a degree-awarding course in medical education on healthcare professionals worldwide. The findings have implications for the educators, course directors, healthcare organisations and professionalisation of the speciality.

The thesis Att vara eller inte vara på rätt plats – Om statushierarkier bland skådespelare is a qualitative study, conducted by me, Therése Jirek, with the purpose of investigating the status hierarchies between actors educated at the public Swedish theater universities and actors educated at private/non public/other theater schools. The study also investigates how the hierarchies affect the work, social relations and dynamics between the actors. The study also looks at the professional pride and identity in relation to this.  The information was gathered using semi-structured interviews with six Swedish actors of different age groups and with different educational backgrounds. The theoretical framework with which the information was interpreted is the theories of the field and habitus by Pierre Bourdieu. The results and analysis are presented in three different parts (chapters): Part 1 – about production and reproduction of status, part 2 – about practices that preserve status and part 3 – about professional pride and identity. The study shows that the actors status is determined for the most part by his or her educational background and if and where he or she works. The status preserving practices are largely performed through silent agreements and self-regulatory behavior. The professional title is characterized by a strong sense of pride and is often rooted deep in the personal identity. / Uppsatsen Att vara eller inte vara på rätt plats – Om statushierarkier bland skådespelare är en kvalitativ studie utförd av mig, Therése Jirek, med syfte att undersöka de statusmässiga hierarkierna mellan skådespelare utbildade inom statlig svensk scenkonstutbildning, och skådespelare utbildade inom privat/ickestatlig/annan scenkonstutbildning. I studien undersöks också hur hierarkierna påverkar yrkesutövandet, de sociala relationerna och dynamiken kollegorna emellan. Vidare berör studien även skådespelarnas yrkesstolthet och identitet i relation till ovanstående. Informationen insamlades med hjälp av semistrukturerade intervjuer med sex svenska skådespelare i olika åldrar och med skiftande utbildningsbakgrund. Det teoretiska ramverk med hjälp av vilket resultaten har tolkats är Pierre Bourdieus teorier om fältet och habitus. Resultaten och analysen redovisas i tre olika delkapitel baserat på forskningssyftet: Del 1 – om produktion och reproduktion av status, del 2 – om statusbevarande praktiker och del 3 – om yrkesstolthet och identitet. Studien visar att skådespelarens status i största mån avgörs av huruvida hen har utbildats vid någon av teaterhögskolorna eller ej, samt om och vid vilken teater hen arbetar. De statusbevarande praktikerna sker till stor del genom tysta överenskommelser och självreglerande beteenden. Yrkestiteln är förknippad med en en stark yrkesstolthet och har ofta en solid förankring i den egna identiteten.

A pesquisa ora apresentada trata da análise histórico-documental do ensino de história da enfermagem e suas interfaces com a construção da identidade profissional do enfermeiro durante o processo de formação inicial na Escola de Enfermagem da Universidade de São Paulo entre 1971 a 2008. A análise visou uma caracterização sobre a necessidade e essencialidade da História da Enfermagem na formação e orientação profissional do enfermeiro, cujo objetivo geral propõe discutir o lugar da disciplina História da Enfermagem na construção de competências no Curso de Graduação em Enfermagem da EEUSP. Como objetivos específicos nos propusemos a identificar o lugar ocupado pela disciplina nos currículos de formação inicial em uma perspectiva processual; identificar competências propiciadas pela disciplina História da Enfermagem e seu contributo para a identidade da profissão de enfermagem, assim como analisar as transformações encetadas pela disciplina História da Enfermagem na EEUSP. Metodologicamente privilegiamos a abordagem qualitativa e a utilização do método de pesquisa histórica, compreendido pelas etapas de coleta, organização e avaliação crítica dos dados. As fontes de pesquisa configuram-se em específico por planos de ensino referentes à disciplina no período delimitado. Foi possível verificar que o ensino de história da enfermagem no currículo do Curso de Graduação em Enfermagem da EEUSP sofreu variações significativas. Observamos que a disciplina permitia o desenvolvimento de competências em todas as suas dimensões, ou seja, a aquisição do saber conhecer, do saber fazer, do saber viver juntos e do saber ser enfermeiro que, quando integrados, conferem identidade ao grupo profissional. A perspectiva apontada neste estudo sugere um declínio da importância da disciplina no desenvolvimento histórico da formação na EEUSP. Tal fato é notório se considerarmos o atual estatuto da história da enfermagem, que desconsidera as potencialidades de seu estudo, que exige maior tempo e preparo docente, dado à complexidade de seus conteúdos e abordagens possíveis. As colocações discutidas nessa tese consideram que disciplinas como a história da enfermagem permitem que o profissional construa sua identidade profissional e mobilize suas competências pautando-as em ações éticas, humanistas em prol do outro e de si próprio, bem como em prol da profissão, do reconhecimento e autonomia profissionais almejados e possíveis de ser conquistados. / The research presented here deals with the historical analysis of the documentary history of nursing education and their interfaces with the construction of professional identity of nurses during the initial training at the School of Nursing, University of São Paulo from 1971 to 2008. The analysis aimed at characterization of the need and essentiality of the History of Nursing in vocational training and guidance of the nurse, whose general objective aims to discuss the place of the History of Nursing in building skills in the Undergraduate Nursing EEUSP. The specific objectives we set out to identify the place occupied by the discipline in the curricula of training on a procedural perspective, identifying skills offered by the History of Nursing and its contribution to the identity of the nursing profession, as well as analyze the changes initiated by the History Nursing in EEUSP. Methodologically qualitative approach and favor the use of the method of historical research, understood through the steps of collecting, organizing and critically evaluating the data. The research sources are configured in a specific lesson plans pertaining to the discipline in the period defined. It was noted that the teaching of nursing history in the curriculum of Undergraduate Nursing EEUSP suffered significant variations. We note that the discipline allowed the development of skills in all its dimensions, ie, the acquisition of knowledge to know, know-how, knowledge, live together and be a nurse to know that, when integrated, give identity to the professional group. The prospect identified in this study suggests a decline in the importance of discipline in the historical development of training in EEUSP. This fact is evident if we consider the current status of nursing history, which ignores the potential of their study, which requires more preparation time and teaching, given the complexity of their subjects and approaches. The settings discussed in this thesis consider that disciplines such as history of nursing allow professionals to build their professional identity and mobilize their skills guiding them into ethical actions, on behalf of the other humanists and of itself, as well as to promote the profession, professional recognition and autonomy possible and desired to be won.

O processo de constituição da identidade profissional dos docentes no ensino superior se dá diante de dilemas e tensões entre os processos relacionais e biográficos, todos esses influenciados pelo contexto em que se situam esses indivíduos. A presente investigação teve como objetivo investigar o processo de construção da identidade docente dos professores que atuam em cursos de graduação em enfermagem nas instituições públicas e fundações municipais de ensino superior no estado de Goiás. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa de natureza descritiva, realizada em duas instituições públicas (federal e estadual) e duas fundações municipais de ensino superior que ofertam o curso de graduação em enfermagem. Foram escolhidos os cursos mais antigos de cada instituição. Participaram onze docentes enfermeiros. Como recurso para a obtenção dos dados foi utilizada a entrevista semiestruturada. A análise de dados foi fundamentada pela análise de conteúdo proposta por Bardin (2011), identificando as seguintes categorias temáticas: Identidade profissional docente relação entre os processos relacionais e biográficos; Repercussões da precarização no trabalho e na identidade profissional docente e Formação profissional e identidade docente: experiências e necessidades. Descrevemos como características de aproximação entre as participantes: ser mulher, estado civil de casada e ter filhos. Como limites identificamos a qualificação acadêmica, pois têm-se três doutoras, duas mestres e seis especialistas, indicando ainda uma necessidade de fortalecimento nesse âmbito. O tempo de experiência na docência variou entre três e 35 anos, sete das participantes são efetivas enquanto quatro são vinculadas por contrato temporário, seis têm mais de um vínculo empregatício. A análise das categorias evidenciou que o ingresso na docência para a maior parte das participantes se deu por contingência diante da necessidade de trabalhar para se manter financeiramente, uma oportunidade para complementar a renda ainda na crença de uma determinação divina, enquanto apenas três das participantes planejaram o ingresso na carreira. Há uma tendência de transposição da identidade de enfermeira para a identidade de docente, especialmente entre docentes com menos de seis anos de profissão. As marcas da precarização do trabalho influenciam na identidade profissional na medida em que dificultam o processo de valorização e reconhecimento de si no trabalho, fragilizando as relações entre os pares, provocando o individualismo, a sobrecarga de trabalho e frustrações. A busca para promover espaços de integração com as dimensões pessoal e profissional docente foi usada como meio de dar vida à pessoa e potência para o profissional. A formação pedagógica para as docentes é um elemento valorizado, no entanto, a maior parte delas refere insatisfação com as experiências que já tiveram nesse campo. Assim, promovemos reflexões sobre a identidade profissional de docentes de enfermagem com interfaces entre desenvolvimento profissional e trabalho docente, no sentido de ampliar e fortalecer esse campo de pesquisa / The formation process of the professors\' professional identity in higher education takes on dilemmas and tensions between relational and biographical processes, all of them influenced by the context in which the individuals are located. The present paper aimed to investigate the construction process of teaching identity of professors who work in nursing undergraduate courses in public institutions and local municipal foundations of higher education, in the state of Goiás. It is a qualitative research of descriptive nature carried out in two public institutions (federal and state ones) and two local foundations of higher education that offer the undergraduate course in nursing. The oldest courses of each institution were selected. There was a participation of eleven nursing professors. The semistructured interview was used as a resource for obtaining the data. Data analysis was based on the content analysis proposed by Bardin (2011). It identified the following thematic categories: teaching professional identity, relationship between relational and biographical processes, repercussions of the work precariousness and teaching professional identity, professional training and teaching identity: experiences and needs. It is possible to describe as an approximation of characteristics among the participants: being a woman, married and with children. The academic qualification was identified as a detachment because there were three Doctors, two Masters and six Experts indicating a need to strengthen the area. The time of teaching experience ranged from three to 35 years. Seven participants have effective jobs, four have a temporary contract, and six have more than one job. The analysis of categories showed that most of the participants started teaching as a need to work and pay the bills, an opportunity to supplement the income believing in a divine determination and only three of them had planned to follow the career. There is a transposition trend from the nurse identity to the professor identity, especially among educators with less than six years of profession. Work casualization marks influence the professional identity as it makes more difficult the process of recovery and recognition at work, weakening peers\' relationship, causing individualism, work overload, and frustration. The search to promote spaces integration with professional and personal dimensions was used as a means of giving life to the person and power to the professional. The pedagogical training for professors is a valued element; however, most of them relate dissatisfaction with the experiences they already had in that field. Thus, it is worth promoting reflections on the professional identity of nursing professors with interfaces between career development and teaching work to expand and strengthen that field of research

abstract: Teacher candidates completing their senior year student teaching practicum as part of the Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College at Arizona State University are expected to graduate as professional, high-quality teachers who are classroom-ready and dedicated to the profession. One lacking component of the program is the opportunity for teacher candidates to have personalized learning experiences that develop professional teacher identity in addition to the development of enhanced teaching skills. To address this, an intervention of an Action Research Project (ARP) was added to the final semester of the student teaching practicum. The goal of the project was to increase professional teacher identity, which would lead to increased teaching practices and a more favorable outlook on real-world problem solving in teaching elementary students. This mixed methods action research study included data collection methods to measure how integrating action research into a cohort-based student teaching experience improved teacher candidates’ teaching practices, how it affected their professional teacher identity and how they perceived the project contributed to the formation of their professional teacher identity. Frameworks that guided the study included principles from the Theory of Self-Organized Learning and Social Identity Theory. The participants of the study were seven teacher candidates completing their student teaching experience in an Arizona school district. Data gathered included teacher evaluation scores, results from a “Teacher Candidate Experience Questionnaire,” narratives collected from Teacher Learning Conversations and written responses on a Final Reflection. Results suggested that teacher candidates’ teaching scores either slightly improved or stayed the same following the intervention. Professional teacher identity increased through the integration of the project, while student identity decreased. Through narratives collected from the participants, observations of other teachers and classrooms emerged as the most impactful component of the intervention. Participants perceived that observations contributed to their growth as teachers by providing exposure to more diverse situations, prompting them to feel engaged and inspired, encouraging high expectations and fostering ways for them to make personal connections. Observing in other classrooms did not always provide the examples and structures the participants had hoped for, yet this disappointment also added value to their growth as teachers. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Educational Administration and Supervision 2019

CESI école d’ingénieurs a mis en place l’Apprentissage Actif Par Projets dans sa formation d’ingénieurs en alternance en 2015. Le cursus à l’école a été conçu pour être professionnalisant, via la réalisation de projets pluridisciplinaires en groupes. Le travail de recherche questionne les médiations et obstacles vécus par les apprenants dans la construction de leurs identités professionnelles dans ce dispositif. Nous avançons deux hypothèses principales pour étudier la question : l’A2P2 devrait influer sur le développement identitaire des apprenants, mais les leviers repérés ne sauraient être uniformes, les interactions dispositif-dispositions jouant sur leur vécu. La méthodologie a consisté à recueillir des données à visée compréhensive sur les 3 ans du cycle ingénieur. Une méthode de recueil mixte a été employée : une approche qualitative, par échantillonnage (31 apprenants), couplée à un recueil de données quantitatives sur la cohorte (587 apprenants), pour en extraire des « profils » de construction. Cette approche, centrée sur le discours des apprenants, a été complémentée par une triangulation méthodologique (recueil de données auprès de tuteurs, résultats d’évaluations).Les résultats confirment la présence d’indicateurs de construction imputables au dispositif à l’école, via la répétition de schémas d’action efficaces. Ils font aussi émerger des profils de construction identitaire, à savoir différentes dynamiques étayées par des ressources et leviers spécifiques, en fonction des buts fixés par les apprenants à la formation. Les résultats ont permis de noter les appuis différenciés en entreprise et en centre, pour accompagner les professionnalités émergentes. / CESI school of engineering has implemented a PBL curriculum called A2P2 in its combined work and study engineering degree program since 2015. This curriculum revolves around cross-disciplinary projects carried out in small groups and was designed to professionalize students. This research work endeavours to question the challenges and assets of this learning environment as regards the professional identity construction of the future engineers. We first assumed that the program should positively affect their professional identity construction, but also advanced the hypothesis that its impact should differ from one student to another as students’ individual dispositions interact with the learning environment and thus affect their experiences. The research process involved gathering comprehensive data throughout the 3-year engineering program. A dual data collection approach was developed – a sampling, qualitative study (31 students) as well as quantitative data collection from the cohort (587 students), to infer development “profiles”. This student-centred methodology was supported by data triangulation, via external data collected from the tutors, from evaluation results.The data collected supports the theory of the school curriculum contributing to students’ identity development, through the iteration of efficient patterns of actions. They bring out several development profiles –professional identity dynamics, bolstered through specific resources and levers of development, depending on students’ set out goals for the training. The results point out that school and companies provide different levers to support students’ professional becoming.
